Secretary Ryu (Kiara's secretary): "Congratulations, Kiara ma'am."

Kiara: "Thanks. What's next on the schedule?"

Secretary Ryu: "Today, you have to meet your grandfather. Then there's a reunion meet with your colleagues. Are you going to attend this time?"

Kiara: "Let's meet my grandfather first. Then I'll see about the reunion."

Secretary Ryu: "Sure, but here's the party."

Kiara: "You know I don't like these types of parties. Let's go."

Lora: "Now I'm not your secretary. I'm Lora, your friend. Tell me, what's going on?"

Kiara: "Nothing, just thinking about school days."

Lora: "If you want to attend the reunion, just go. What's stopping you?"

Kiara: "I think you're right, but—"

Lora: "You really should just leave it. I'm going now… Oops, I forgot, I have a blind date today."

Kiara: "Again?"

Lora: "Bye-bye! I'll explain later."

Kiara goes inside the house to meet her grandfather.

Grandfather: "You really don't have time for me, do you?"

Kiara: "No, it's not that, Grandpa."

Grandfather: "So what?" (pouts)

Kiara: "Say what you want."

Grandfather: "Date someone."

Kiara: "Are you kidding, Grandpa? I don't have time for all that."

Grandfather: "You're always like that."

(Someone comes in)

Someone: "Your order is here."

Kiara: "Order? Grandpa, did you order something?"

Grandfather: "Yes, for you."

Kiara: "Why?"

Grandfather: "Did you think I don't know you won the award again? I want to congratulate you with something."
